How to start using OER:

1. Find the right resources by using our LibGuide or carefully searching online.

2. Review the resources to make sure they align with your teaching goals and objectives.

You could use the OER Repository Rubric as a starting point in evaluating your OER resource: https://bcoel.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/oerr-rubric-2018.pdf

3. Keep as-is or modify based on the license. Check that the Creative Commons license allows for modification, editing, or amending (many do) if you decide to adapt the work. 

You can find more information on adapting OER works in Lauri M. Aesoph's Adaptation Guide: A reference for adapting or revising an open textbook, available here: https://opentextbc.ca/adaptopentextbook/

4. Present the resource to your students!
